Psalms 81
1 Unto the end, for the winepresses, a psalm for Asaph himself. Rejoice to God our helper: sing aloud to the God of Jacob.
Glasno prepevajte Bogu, naši môči, naredite radosten glas Jakobovemu Bogu.
2 Take a psalm, and bring hither the timbrel: the pleasant psaltery with the harp.
Vzemite psalm in prinesite sèm tamburin, prijetno harfo s plunko.
3 Blow up the trumpet on the new moon, on the noted day of your solemnity.
Trobite na šofar ob mlaju, ob določenem času na naš slovesni praznični dan.
4 For it is a commandment in Israel, and a judgment to the God of Jacob.
Kajti to je bil zakon za Izraela in postava Jakobovega Boga.
5 He ordained it for a testimony in Joseph, when he came out of the land of Egypt: he heard a tongue which he knew not.
To je odredil v Jožefu za pričevanje, ko je šel ven skozi egiptovsko deželo, kjer sem slišal jezik, ki ga nisem razumel:
6 He removed his back from the burdens: his hands had served in baskets.
»Njegovo ramo sem odstranil od bremena, njegove roke so bile osvobojene pred lonci.
7 Thou calledst upon me in affliction, and I delivered thee: I heard thee in the secret place of tempest: I proved thee at the waters of contradiction.
Ti kličeš v stiski in jaz sem te osvobodil, odgovoril sem ti na skrivnem kraju groma. Jaz sem te preizkusil pri vodah Meríbe. (Sela)
8 Hear, O my people, and I will testify to thee: O Israel, if thou wilt hearken to me,
Poslušaj, oh moje ljudstvo, pričeval ti bom, oh Izrael, če bi mi hotel prisluhniti.
9 There shall be no new god in thee: neither shalt thou adore a strange god.
V tebi naj ne bo tujega boga niti ne boš oboževal nobenega tujega boga.
10 For I am the Lord thy God, who brought thee out of the land of Egypt: open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.
Jaz sem Gospod, tvoj Bog, ki te je privedel iz egiptovske dežele. Široko odpri svoja usta in napolnil jih bom.
11 But my people heard not my voice: and Israel hearkened not to me.
Toda moje ljudstvo noče prisluhniti mojemu glasu in Izrael noče ničesar od mene.
12 So I let them go according to the desires of their heart: they shall walk in their own inventions.
Tako sem jih izročil njihovim lastnim srčnim željam in živeli so po svojih lastnih nasvetih.
13 If my people had heard me: if Israel had walked in my ways:
Oh, da bi mi moje ljudstvo prisluhnilo in bi Izrael hodil po mojih poteh!
14 I should soon have humbled their enemies, and laid my hand on them that troubled them.
Kmalu bi podjarmil njihove sovražnike in svojo roko obrnil zoper njihove nasprotnike.
15 The enemies of the Lord have lied to him: and their time shall be for ever.
Gospodovi sovražniki bi se morali podvreči pod njega, pa bi se njihov čas ohranil na veke.
16 And he fed them with the fat of wheat, and filled them with honey out of the rock.
Hranil bi jih tudi z najodličnejšo pšenico in z medom iz skale bi te nasitil.«
